There are micro crystals in Orbeez that absorb water, almost like a diaper. Before I go any further, some people may argue that Orbeez are living things because they grow, but they are not living, breathing life-forms. I know I haven't fully answered your question yet, but bare with me. Orbeez are made from super absorbent polymers that allow the small spheres the size of a sprinkle to grow up to 300 times its original size/volume. This method was originally used for agriculture purposes. You see, to absorb and hold water more efficently, farmers used some of the ingredients found in Orbeez on their crops. This is also why Orbeez can be planted in the ground where plants grow once your done. It helps save water, and grows plants more efficiently

Orbeez are small, water-absorbent polymer beads that expand in size when soaked in water. They are commonly used for sensory play, decoration, and as a substitute for soil in plant arrangements.
Yes, there are glow-in-the-dark Orbeez available. These Orbeez contain special luminescent materials that allow them to glow in the dark after being exposed to light.
Orbeez are designed to expand in water due to their absorbent properties. They are not designed to grow in other substances. Attempting to grow Orbeez in other substances may not yield the desired results and could potentially damage the Orbeez.
No, once you take Orbeez out of water they will not continue to grow. Orbeez are superabsorbent polymer beads that expand when placed in water, but once they are removed from water they will gradually shrink back to their original size.
To dissolve Orbeez, you can place them in a bowl of warm water and leave them to soak for several hours. The Orbeez will gradually absorb the water and start to break down, eventually turning into a slimy texture. It's important to dispose of the Orbeez properly after use, as they should not be flushed down the drain due to the risk of clogging.
No, you should not put water in an Orbeez mood lamp. The lamp is designed to work with the Orbeez beads and adding water could damage the lamp or cause a short circuit.
